Bike Rumor posted their first in a series talking with framebuilders about their early days and specifically bikes they wish they hadn't of wrecked, sold, or had stolen. This first one features Ira Ryan and Tony Pereira, both of whom wrecked their beloved bikes and rebuilt them rather than toss them in the recycling pile. Pretty rad stuff!

This rare look at mountain biking circa 1983-1985 was shot and edited by famed kayaker Wolf Ruck. Largely forgotten, this video wraps up what was happening in the mountain bike scene before the MTB explosion, namely riding singletrack with a few buds, some great racing, and observed trials. Thanks to Brian Vernor for the heads up on this one.
